Determination of the atomic structure of the epitaxial CoSi/sub 2/:Si(111) interface using high-resolution Rutherford backscattering

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
High-resolution Rutherford backscattering is employed to study the atomic structure at the epitaxial CoSi/sub 2/:Si(111) interface. The Si atoms of the substrate are found to bond to Co atoms in the silicide. In this bonding arrangement the interface Co atoms are fivefold, or possibly eightfold, coordinated. Bond-angle distortions are essentially absent
